University of Wisconsin Alumni chapters across the country participate in Wisconsin Alumni Associations (WAA's) Matching Dollar Scholarship Program, dedicated to providing scholarships to deserving local students attending UW-Madison. The program, developed by WAA and funded by the UW Foundation, matches donations from local alumni and friends, up to $10,000.

The WAA - Seattle Chapter generate donations for our local scholarship fund from raffle tickets and a modest ticket price for our annual summer picnic. If you would like to donate to the fund separately please go to the UW Foundation site and select "Seattle WA/WAA - Seattle Chapter Matching Scholarship Fund" from the drop down menu.
